It was hard choosing the tunes for this morning, I tell you. What a jostling bunch there are when the Roland 808 is involved. Want more? Check out our picks (and some special extras) HERE.
Dr. Kirsten comes out in favour of the humble (yet apparently bloody pricey) flute. Ignore the smutty talk of fingering and tonguing, we're here to get real about one of hip hop's favourite sampled instruments.
Dr. Zemke talks vocoder with a very excited host: it's Breakfast Club, there're robot voices on tunes, and well... of course Mike has a vocoder app on his phone.
In which Dr. Zemke details uses for/of: the vibraphone. Whether cracking solos, percussive melodies or Looney Tunes foley, this week's instrument brings the bones-as vibes. (Sorry.)
